Oh Communism... what a great system whereby resources are distributed from those that have to those that need... except they can't seem to get toilet paper right.Seems like everyone needs toilet paper, so you can't just 'take it' from those that have.

I am too, and I'm really not sure when I'm going to be able to pick any up. Working late, then have to go get tire replaced, inspection, oil change, then there's the two dogs who will have to be walked, then I'll have to have a beer.

In college my roommates and I had a system of buying a large pack and when it was out the next guy bought and so on. When it came to the third guy he refused, so we just kept our respected rolls in our rooms and brought it with when needed. Now one day we knew there was no tp in there and third guy goes in for a while. The filthy beast turned on the shower and used his hand! He was from India, don't know if that had anything to do with it. He finally cracked and gave in to buying because that was so much of a hassle and the shiat we would give him./puns intended.

"Immediately post-breakup, one of only two toilet paper factories in the entire USSR had been in Latvia. That meant that the remaining pieces of the Soviet empire lost that valuable resource in the first wave."

"According to data from Venezuela's Central Bank, the scarcity index rose to 21% last month, the highest since the bank started tracking the measure in 2009.This means that out of 100 goods, 21 are not available."

Well, no, most of the world uses toilet paper rarely if ever. Left hand and water is more common. As I recall, bidets were extremely common in Venez, but I'm not sure how much of that was just Caracas versus the poorer countryside.

Who is this magical strawman liberal that idolized the Soviet Union, again? You know, the antithesis of everything that a social progressive holds dear?
